great video...quick tip use a hair dryer to heat hoses to allow them to expand making it much easier to take on and off.

My Power Flo Matrix lasted about 3 years...& that's in NC. The seal broke which separates the pump from the motor & slowly compromised the motor housing & corroded the motor (salt water pool)...Little disappointing...luckily, my wife works for Hayward...This clarified things a lot. Thanks much!!!

Thanks for this video. Just got anew PowerFlo Matrix pump and I wanted to move my discharge from vertical to horizontal, but couldn't depress the button with my fingers and thought something must be wrong.....can't possibly be called a button and you can't depress it. I contacted Hayward Customer Service----what a joke, a sorry excuse for Customer Service. With exactly no help there I thought to check You Tube and found this video. Life saver! Very well done and 100% clear. Than you!!!

I use a hairdryer to heat up the hose where it attaches to the pump. Comes off a little easier that way when it’s warm.

When you install the clear vinyl hose that goes between the pump and filter use some plumbers grease. It will slide on with ease

Your welcome! I believe ours takes four bags of the silica type sand. Yours may be different. Does your filter still have a make and model# on it? If so you can Google it. You want to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Maybe you can pull the old sand out and guesstimate same amount to put back in if you’re unable to locate the specifications. You got this ! 😊

Ours is a 3’ long with a 1.25” diameter hose. The size of the opening depends on your pool instructions (for example I believe the Intex pump is a 1.5” opening). I believe a vacuum hose would be too long. Cheers!

We bought one a couple months ago and already it won't turn on. I dunno if it's the switch or what. It worked great till today. I finally got it to turn on and then went to flush, turned it off and it won't turn back on again. The on switch clicks when you push it but nothing happens. Is that how yours did when it went bad?

I believe our pump has a standard 3 prong plug that is plugged into a gfci outlet on a dedicated circuit. I assume that makes it grounded. I don’t know much more as this is out of my area of expertise requiring a qualified licensed electrician/pool technician. Take care 😊
